Electronic properties’ modulation of D–A–A via fluorination of 2-cyano-2-pyran-4-ylidene-acetic acid acceptor unit for efficient DSSCs: DFT-TDDFT approach

Considerable attentions have been drawn towards modulation of organic dyes with the goal of realizing effectual dye-sensitized solar cells using density functional theory (DFT). In this respect, a series of D–A1–A2 dyes containing 2-vinyl-5-(5-vinyl-2-thienyl) thiophene bridged with C=S group (A1),...
